Members Sheilajeanne Posted August 12, 2020 Members Report Posted August 12, 2020 Have been looking at the Artisan Leather site you got your tools from. What ripoff artists! £49.50 for a poly maul from Ivan?? Gaahhh! https://www.artisanleather.co.uk/v-z-codes.html And the prices for their stamps are about what I'd pay in Canadian dollars! To buy a single tool at what they are charging would be about $17.00 Canadian, before shipping and taxes! Quote

Contributing Member fredk Posted August 12, 2020 Contributing Member Report Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) Try Le Prevo in Newcastle. England. Their tool prices are very easy on the wallet and I think the tools are made by Ivan. Scroll down to 'Embossing Stamps' http://www.leprevo.co.uk/carving-tools.htm I got about 90% of my stamping tools from Le Prevo.

The page I was directed to had Jim Linnell, Barry King and other top toolmakers! What manufacturers did you see that you'd recommend staying away from? Interested to see comments from others who've used Ivan Taiwan tools. Ivan has profited by producing Tandy stamps that are no longer available, such as leaf and acorn stamps, but having never used these stamps, I don't know how their quality compares. https://www.amazon.com/Sunolga-Leather-Artwork-Stitching-Stamping/dp/B0896TLDDG/ref=asc_df_B0896TLDDG/?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=&hvpos=&hvnetw=o&hvrand=&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=e&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4584070147480707&psc=1 This is just one of the many sets as i said some of the tools are ok but the stamps are junk.

I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!

But directly from Ivan is about 15% cheaper :D So you're generally satisfied with those tools? Quote
